Not special. Not chosen. But she's got magical shoes.
14-year old Karina doesn't know what she wants, but knows what she's found--fascinating silver shoes. Fascinating, dangerous, and potentially evil. On the upside, they do bring cool visitors. When a princess invites her to go to Whyland, of course she accepts. There's that little "let's destroy the shoes" detail she's not crazy about, but hey, free trip. Alternate world. Got it?
Perhaps not. Whyland is nothing like she expected. Karina finds herself stuck in a kingdom she doesn't understand, with no clue on who to trust. Before saving anyone, she'd better save herself--if she figures out how.
